MORRIS

The annual Henry and Jane Mark Morris reunion was held Aug. 5 at Morris Park, with 30 registering. The cooler weather was appreciated, and it was a beautiful day in the park. The dust control put on the roads was appreciated by all. Many campers were enjoying the park.

The oldest Morris relative attending was 89-year-old Eugene Clark of Stockport, and the youngest was 20-month-old Blake Connor of Mount Pleasant.

Dorothy Gilbert reported on all the activities at the park. On one day there were 180 children taking part in many of the activities provided for them. They had to be divided into groups due to the large number. They loved learning about the horse and how to pet and take care of it. They could make willow whistles and learn to identify birds. Many other things were enjoyed, and they all wanted to return.

A discussion was held on getting T-shirts and caps with a Morris Park emblem to sell to help with the many maintenance projects. Donations would be welcomed and could be mailed to Marilynn Boley, 141 N. Liberty St., Birmingham 52535.
